    Oooh I love the voice acting! it's so great, except Vanille's. I think what bothers me most are the funny little noises she makes that are trying to be girly and cute but instead sound suspiciously sexual.

    I think she'd grow on me if she stopped doing that cos it creeps me out.

    I like everyone's voice except for Vanille's. It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't do the high-pitched "hehuhhhh!!!" gasp thing. But other than that, Sazh is by far the best voice acted. That guy did an outstanding job.

    The only one I am a bit iffy about is Vanille's and it is not that bad but at times it feels a little inconsistent. (SPOILER)It is hinted that she has a "dark" side/something she is hiding (SPOILER)aside from being from Pulse, yet I feel that the happy-go-lucky attitude and the fact that she has a secret could be portrayed better

    It's hard to pull off that super-cutsey voice in English. I still like Vanille's voice though. Sounds kiwi to me, ftr.

    Why does Snow sound super familiar? Anyone? I'm thinking... Leon, RE4?

    The voice acting is good. I still prefer Japanese on account of the cheesy lines not sounding so cheesy when they're not in English (yes, Snow, I get it, you're a hero...) but other than that I approve so far.

    I really like to voice acting myself. I'm always curious to see how the translation from Japanese to English works out.



    I've been dead for months, I just haven't gotten around to laying down yet.

    I love the voices still. I like Hope's a real lot. I wonder who voices the Frocobo.

    I'm tossing in my lot with Snow and Sahz being the best, and I'd argue some of the best Video Game Voice acting I've heard. I'd say it's up there with the likes the great VA's in Xenosaga.

    heh.....kind of like when I found out that Cloud's voice actor in Advent Children is a soap opera actor (from General Hospital, I believe?). It almost ruined it.

    I was even more weirded out when I found out the guy that does Tidus' voice was the same guy that did Ratchet's voice in the new R&C game.

    He sounded a lot better as Ratchet.

    The dude who does Sazh was on The Cosby Show. I loved him.

    I have yet to hear a voice that I don't like, I love all of them so far. I've got to agree that Sazh and Snow's voices are probably the best - at least out of the characters I've heard so far.
